Its also worth noting that when I wow gold was buying the games at EB, the guy behind the counter (who remember me from when I bought my DS Lite) and a bunch of other people in the store, happily informed me of 'the risk I was taking' and I was going to be become an addict ("another WoW addict is born").

Pretty much the general opinion was along the lines of 'lol' and 'dude that is pretty low', as if I decided to start taking heroin.
Ironically none of the people who couldn't believe I was going to start playing WoW, play the game.
